Science Fair
Science Fair is fun!
Well - it should be anyway.
You will all complete an observational drawing in class.
You may do the photography as anoptional extra - this could be in place of the wallchart.
You must do a wallk chart explaining how a "home appliance" works, unless you do photography or one of the other more tricky categories.
If you want to avoid the wallchart category in favour of an investigation or technological innovation, you MUST follow the instructions and seek advice from me. I strongly recommend that you think carefully before attempting this option with the time that is remaining to you. A detailed, dated log book is essential.
We have discussed it all at length. You have written instructions.
You must bring your completed work to school on the first Monday to show me BEFORE you glue anything onto your A2 coloured presentation paper.
It is COMPULSORY.

You will do it in class time.
There is going to be a major competition run my Microsoft Partners inLearning to select a winner for this competition between Rm5 and Rm9 - a VERY EXCITING prize will be up for grabs... [think of a letter from the alphabet and think of a small cubic container]

Term Two poster design
Our classmate "Roo" has had a brilliant idea for a Term Two project. Because we had so many ideas about which charities to raise money for, he suggested we design posters to promote each different cause and what they stand for.
This would be good for several reasons:
1. You'd have to research the charities
2. Think critically about which one you feel is worth promoting
3. Learn about design techniques for posters
4. Integrate ICTs to add value to and enhance the quality of your product
Please comment with your opinions and ideas about which charities you support and why.
